Coaching Basics, 2nd Edition

By Lisa Haneberg

Great coaching makes a world of difference. Coaching is one of the quickest and most effective ways to advance the success of an organization. Yet it remains underused and misunderstood, and the term is often used synonymously with corrective counseling, encouragement, or the many helpful tactics in between.

In Coaching Basics you'll discover a precise coaching framework along with insights from 40 experienced coaches, including Barry Goldberg and Marshall Goldsmith. This refreshed edition also homes in on what it takes to build influencing skills and introduces new content on microcoaching to highlight practical ways to leverage technology.

Part of ATD's Training Basics series, Coaching Basics presents the theory and follows it up with easily applicable techniques, examples, and exercises that will help you perfect essential coaching skills.

Good basic book

This book was recommended to me by a coach in the business for 25 years. It is a really strong basic book for people starting out in coaching.

Terrific book!

This is a fantastic book on coaching! From the very first pages it is filled with insights and specific advice on things that are most important for coaching, behaviors, activities, things to strive for, things to avoid. Highly recommended for those considering a career in coaching and may be even helpful for experienced professionals. However, in my opinion, it is more of a book for a full-time coach rather than a manager or a team leader who want to build their coaching skills.
